If successfully funded, this comic book will feature 48 action-packed pages of adventures with strips of talking bacon. The campaign lets backers decide which of three talented artists will illustrate the comic book.

Bacon has been a dietary staple ever since our moms first fried some up for our young, Saturday-morning tummies. In the digital realm, we've seen everything from bacon-themed websites to comics — and if you think you really love bacon, you have nothing on this guy.

So, it should come as no surprise that many people are relying on the web's love of swine to help fund their projects on Kickstarter. Whether they're looking to plan an entire festival or manufacture a meat-scented soap, these entrepreneurs want you to have the most bacon for your buck.

We've rounded up five quirky, bacon-themed Kickstarter projects. Which one will you be supporting? Let us know in the comments.
